PROTECTOR- COVER FOR TOILET-CLOSET SEATS.

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, CLIFTON B. SLoAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Protector-Covers for Toilet-Closet Seats, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to protector covers for toilet closet seats, and the objects of my invention are, first, to provide a cheap, easily made, and portable protector cover which may be folded and assembled into convenient packages suitable for carrying in the pocket or hand bag, second, to provide the protector cover with an inner circular portion adapted to rest upon the ring of the closet seat, and an outer circular portion adapted to fold beneath the inner circular portion and thereby forming shoulders to support the inner portion and to suspend the outer portion, and third, to provide a shield on the inner edge of the inner circular portion at the forward end of the cover, and a projecting portion adapted to fold outwiardly of the closet seat and shield its outer e ge.

I attain these objects by the meansand deviceillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in Which- Figure 1, is a plan view of my invention;

Fig. 2, is a perspective view of my invention and showing the same in unfolded position and ready to be applied to the closet seat; and

Fig. 3, is a perspective view of my invention in operatlve position on the seat of the toilet closet and showing the flushing water trapped in the closet bowl in readiness to remove the cover from the seat and draw it into the sewer.

Fi 4, is a bottom View of the cover, and showing the folding of the loop to provide shoulders.

Similar reference numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the several ing therein. To make, my protector cover,-

the sheet 1, is positioned so that it will appear diamond-shaped, the upper and lower corners of the diamond being in the center Specification of Letters Patent.

line drawn longitudinallythrough the closet seat. A cut 2 is made in the sheet in circular direction from a point 3, to a point 4, at the opposite side of the sheet. The cut 2 is made to substantially conform with the outer edge of the'closet seat, the portion of the sheet outwardly of the out 2, is thereby formed as and for a depending loop 5, which is adapted to drop into the closet bowl and engage the water trapped therein and in position to be acted upon by the flushing water admitted to the bowl. Inwardly a suitable distance from the cut 2, a cut 6 is made in the sheet and is extended in circular direction from a point 7, to a point 8, directly opposite thereto, thereby forming ashield 9. A cut 10 is made in the sheet in circular direction from a point 11, at the intersection of the cut 6, to a point 12, directly opposite, at the intersection of the cut 6, thereby forming a seat ring 13, and providing the opening 14, which corresponds with the opening in the clos t seat. Holes 15 are apertured in the sheet at the terminals of the cut 6, to facilitate the 'folding of the shield 9, and to prevent the tearing of the cover when the shield 9 is folded on the folding line 16. A folding line 17 is marked in curved line cross-wise the projecting corner 18 of the sheet, to indicate the fold to provide a shield 19, which is adapted to drop outwardly of the forward edge of the closet seat. Folding lines 20'are marked at opposite sides of the sheet, outwardly of the cut 2, to indicate the fold of the loop 5, to provide shoulders 21, adapted to support the seat ring 13, and permit the loop 5, to depend in the closet bowl. The edge of shoulders 21, are shown at 1, in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4:. Y

My protector cover is applied to the closet seat by folding the loop 5 on the folding lines 20, thereby forming the shoulders 21, and dropping the loop, thus folded, into the closet bowl. This operation brings the seat ring 13, to lie on the ring of the closet seat and to rest on the shoulders 21. The shield 9, is then folded down on the folding line 22, and, thereafter, it covers and protects the inner edge of the closet seat ring and prevents contact therewith. The forwardly projecting portion of the sheet, forming the shield 19, is then folded downwardly on the folding line 17 and, thereafter, it covers and protects the outer edge of the seat ring of the closet. When the loop 5 drops into the closet bowl 23, it engages the water trapped in the bowl, so that when the flushing water is admitted to the bowl from the tank 25, it will forcibly engage the loop and draw the protector cover into the bowl and convey it into the sewer, not shown.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim is 1. A protector cover for toilet closet seats, consisting of a rectangular sheet of moisture proof paper partially separated to form diagonally of the sheet a loop and Within the loop a seat ring, said 100 being provided with folding shoulders a apted to support said seat ring and sustain said loop in operative position.

2. A protective cover for toilet closet seats, consisting of a rectangular sheet of moisture proof paper partially separated to form diagonally of the sheet a loop and within the loop a seat ring, said loop being provided with folding shoulders adapted to support said seat ring and sustain said loop in operative position, a folding shield carried by the inner. edge of said seat ring, and a forwardly projecting folding portion adapted to shield the outer edge of said seat ring.
